Beware the misinformation and anger that is the comments by pixxelkick below
"I'm not a soulless boomer telling people pull themselves up by their bootstraps, I'm just giving honest and mathematically correct facts!"
Then begins to list off pretty much everything from don't make avocado toast to just move out of the city, despite you not maybe being able to afford that.
Then tells a person to stop caring for his father and let him live uncomfortably, possibly even die, just so that they can get a house based on some really flimsy and very personal philosophies.
Not to take anything away from your comment but...
Folk SHOULD make avocado toast. It is trivially simple, dirt cheap, and delicious. And you are like 2 minutes away from guacamole at that point.
Also, we shouldn't have to sacrifice a small joy as simple as a god damn snack to do more than barely survive. That whole thing has always been so stupid :(
Oh, I do not disagree. If anything it really highlights the duplicitous hypocritical fallacies that are often foisted upon the lower classes to prove their poverty is self-inflicted.
Thanks for the headsup. Blocked that (and one other) twat.
Welcome!
It's like an ouroboros but instead of his tail thr guy has his foot in his mouth
